Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, recognizing and dealing with strife.

Everywhere we look, it seems there is something or someone we can choose to be upset with.

We can bicker about any topic on social media or criticize others

for their opinions and beliefs. Often we get that uneasy feeling that everything is just not okay.

There is good news. With God's help, we can improve and even have unity in our relationships.

Be encouraged as Joyce shares how we can overcome strife and receive God's

Amplified Bible says, for let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days

good rather apparent or not and I like that so that's basically meaning that your

circumstances might not be good but it can still be a good day.

I like that.

In other words, the devil can throw his best shot, and you can still have a good day.

Let him keep his tongue free from evil.

Well, there's the mouth again.

I'll just throw this out for free.

Do you know that complaining opens the door for the devil?

The Israelites murmured and complained, and God got so tired of it.

He finally let serpents into the camp, and 23,000 of them died in one day.

And it was all because of complaining.
